His publications include the co-edited volumes Stanislavsky in the World: The System and its Transformation across Continents (with Jonathan Pitches)and Interdisciplinarity in the Performing Arts: Contemporary Perspectives (with Malaika Sarco-Thomas). Aquilina is the director of Cultural Transmission of Actor Training Techniques, a research project investigating how training techniques are transformed when transmitted across cultures.
